bug: Version v1.3.4 failed to publish (jumped from v1.3.3 to v1.3.5)

[madjin]

Context

Discord plugin v1.3.4 failed to publish, resulting in a version jump from v1.3.3 directly to v1.3.5.

• Source: Discord discussion (2026-01-03)
• Priority: P1 (from issue-triage assessment)
• Impact: Medium-High (breaks predictable upgrades; may strand users on bad versions)

Evidence

• Discord: "v1.3.4 failed to publish; version jumped from v1.3.3 to v1.3.5"
• Reporter: YogaFlame
• Related: Previous issue Discord Plugin Release Issue: Tags v1.0.0-v1.0.4 are broken #9 (v1.0.x getWavHeader) is different and closed
• Pattern: Indicates release pipeline fragility

Technical Details

• Component: Plugin System / Publishing pipeline (npm, registry, CI workflows)
• Complexity: 3/5 (requires pipeline audit and safeguards)
• Required Expertise: npm publishing, CI release workflows, semver/tagging

Proposed Investigation

1. Audit npm error logs + CI run for v1.3.4 publish attempt
2. Check for tag creation issues, provenance problems, npm token scope
3. Determine if v1.3.4 contained important fixes that users need
4. Add automated guard: fail if version already exists / missing changelog

Proposed Prevention

1. Add "release checklist" to CI workflow
2. Implement dry-run publish in CI before actual release
3. Add Slack/Discord notification on publish failure

Acceptance Criteria

• Root cause of v1.3.4 failure documented
• Release workflow improved to prevent recurrence
• Process documented for handling skipped versions

Uhm 1.3.6 has been attempted to publish by Stan but looking at the actions, I don't see an attempt yet. From the logs looks like 1.3.3 is the last NPM successfully published (pr #24 run 55987475791), npmjs confirms this.

Just seeing failure on Dec 23rd, I saw these last night too also in odi-voice (slightly different). Investigating the 23rd publish failures

run 58802573225 publish package 59 pr #32

src/service.ts(1967,18): error TS2769: No overload matches this call.
  Overload 1 of 2, '(event: keyof EventPayloadMap, handler: EventHandler<keyof EventPayloadMap>): void', gave the following error.
    Argument of type '"DISCORD_REGISTER_COMMANDS"' is not assignable to parameter of type 'keyof EventPayloadMap'.
  Overload 2 of 2, '(event: string, handler: (params: EventPayload) => Promise<void>): void', gave the following error.
    Argument of type '(params: { commands: DiscordSlashCommand[]; allowAllChannels?: Record<string, boolean>; }) => Promise<void>' is not assignable to parameter of type '(params: EventPayload) => Promise<void>'.
      Types of parameters 'params' and 'params' are incompatible.
        Property 'commands' is missing in type 'EventPayload' but required in type '{ commands: DiscordSlashCommand[]; allowAllChannels?: Record<string, boolean> | undefined; }'.

run 20466870500 publish package 60 pr #38

src/service.ts(2563,32): error TS2344: Type 'DiscordRegisterCommandsPayload' does not satisfy the constraint 'keyof EventPayloadMap'.
src/service.ts(2567,42): error TS18046: 'params' is of type 'unknown'.
src/service.ts(2576,37): error TS18046: 'params' is of type 'unknown'.

looking at package.json
it wants elizaos/config 1.6.5 & elizaos/^1.7.0
